I would normally feel compelled to correct all these errors, but fortunately I don’t have to. Perhaps sensing the opportunity for delicious irony, the “hoi polloi that roam the Internet?...

There will be one community fellow from each “dorm community?...

Hundreds of discoveries are reported first on the arXiv, and only much later (and sometimes never) are they sent to peer-reviewed journals...
